Holy shit this movie is pure art. The visuals and aesthetic are spot on for Cyberpunk and the sound direction is so good. Literally every set had me engaged because how good they looked. The scene with K just going around the city with these big ass logo's of dead and alive companies was so good. Visually, this movie is a masterpiece.

The whole plot of K finding a purpose and then losing it to then making up one himself is great. Pretty similar to Detroit become human. The plot kept me hooked throughout. The whole section in the ruins of Las Vegas was peak. The pacing was also so much better than the first movie.

And then there is the Ryan Gosling is literally me propaganda which I fully subscribe to. K feels very similar as to his lack of purpose and being stuck in a society that fucking sucks. The AI Girlfriend thing has gained a whole new meaning since ChatGPT dropped. God I love this k-pain scene.

The ending was great. K did the most human thing possible after breaking his shackles even when he was not HIM hence proving that every single replicant is a living being but lack purpose and memories which shape their personalities.

And Jared Leto somehow gave his best performance in this movie. This is his peak after Paul Allen.

I really liked the Joi character. Is she a person? Is she a an LLM? The character does everything you'd expect the female lead in an action movie to do, and then the movie throws a kind of meta-question about the "realness" of that character.

I read Joi as a sentient person, being an extension of the replicants being meat robot people to Joi and equivalent Ais being digital people fulfilling the role replicants played for humans for replicants. Sort of kicking the ball down the line. Two robot people striving to be people together, with ambiguity around their respective "realness". I thought it was all very smart and slick.
